Work experience

Software Development Engineer 1 at Blinkit, Jun 2024 - Present · 2 yrs 4 mos, Gurugram, Architected a multi-tenant employee performance platform on a normalized PostgreSQL schema, supporting configurable review cycles, dynamic reviewer mapping, automatic expiry and fallback scoring, and multi-criteria evaluations with tenant isolation. Drove platform adoption as the input to store-manager reviews and retention-bonus eligibility, giving managers a data-driven basis to identify and offboard underperformers and motivating ∼20% of evaluated workers to improve their ratings month-over-month. Led event-driven manpower automation using Kafka, enabling asynchronous roster generation and on-demand slot creation, eliminating manual roster creation and slot-scheduling effort across operations. Own and operate a high-availability distributed microservice powering workforce slot booking, adherence, and attendance workflows across ∼3000 dark stores for ∼1M gig workers; currently leading the migration of its attendance module to a new architecture with idempotent event-processing workflows, normalized persistence models, and backward-compatible schema changes, rolling out via store-level flagged shadow writes for a safe, zero-downtime cutover. Resolved a production race condition in the GetOrCreateUserId flow causing duplicate (tenant_id, employee_id) mappings; fixed the root cause by moving user creation to the upstream Ops layer, safely backfilled and deduplicated historical entries using an is_active flag, and enforced correctness with a partial unique index – eliminating duplicates without any data loss. Designed a configurable hierarchical warning framework to automate policy enforcement, replacing manual policy enforcement with warning groups, designation-specific threshold overrides, and escalation workflows across employee roles and tenants.

Software Engineer Intern at Jio Platforms Limited (JPL), May 2023 - Jul 2023 · 3 mos, Hyderabad, Built a real-time PPE detection system using YOLO v8, training models to detect multiple equipment types at >95% accuracy. Developed a Python desktop application for real-time detection on a live camera feed using OpenCV and Tkinter. Created a web-based image upload-and-detection tool using HTML, Python, and JavaScript.
